Nick,
With the exception of the green in the upper and lower left corners, I like this image a lot. I might take those areas darker - not black but darker. Otherwise, this is just spectacular. Beautiful color and fascinating shapes and lines.

These Primula are beautiful. Love the bright colors and curvy petals. I agree with Pat's suggestion about darkening the green bg. Well done.

I took your kind suggestions and darkened the upper and lower left corners. Thanks for your comments.

Nick: Really nice adjustment on the repost; a fine image made even better. I do think I prefer the original colors though. I edited your title to reflect the repost but you can do that yourself when you redo a shot. It's a good idea to give folks a heads up that they may want to revisit. >=))>

The color in the blooms looks a little flat in the repost. You may like to try selectively darkening the bg green using a trial version of Viveza 2 from Nik software whilst keeping the original color in the blooms.

Gary,
I didn't make any changes to the blooms. I altered the corners using local brightness reduction in Camera Raw. I don't know why you're seeing a change.
